Any difference in these pixels from Ray

Getting ready to place my first order with Ray and I'm looking at the different pixels. I'm looking at ordering bullet style, 12v, 18AWG ws2811's. I have a falcon controller if that makes any difference.

These appear to be the same pixels only 1 has pigtails attached and the other doesn't. Both are listed as ws2811, IP68, 18AWG black wire. Both priced the same at $25.00. I've noticed on others that the ones with pigtails are usually a buck or 2 higher. Any reason why the ones with pigtails are the same price as the ones without? Is there some difference I'm not seeing?

Re: Any difference in these pixels from Ray

I'm going to stick with the 18 awg since the difference in $ is minimal. I'm wondering why the price is the same with or without the pig tails. Usually it's $1.50 more or so with the pigtails so I'm wondering if there's something off on these or some difference between the 2 that I don't see.

Not sure there needs to be a cost add for connectors/pigtails. If you are doing a million piece run for a customer with pigtails, it is less expensive to run more than change to no pigtails, or cut them off

Re: Any difference in these pixels from Ray

Yes Jerry I have some too, but if you have a choice, always go 18 gauge or better.

Not sure why your one pixel has an issue, but wire gauge is not the cause here.
Does it act the same in cold weather an in hot.

I agree about the 18 gauge. The pixel does it randomly, some times it will light right up, sometimes it won't. I had a couple ,dumb nodes do it, so i dont think it has anything to do with the 2811 pic. I think it is the LED itself.

Thanks.

Maybe contact Todd @ diyledexpress.com He just got a large pre-sale shipment in. Typically he buys extra for stock sales. Great product, as good of a price (or better) local purchase and reasonable freight. Don't expect immediate return message.....he is busy shipping pre-sale orders.
